I have had The GI Joe Medic flock Small
heads for me for years, but when a recent batch arrived I was
struck by the fact that two of them bore an uncanny resemblance
to shrunken Adventure Team GI Joes...

So I had to make them. They still need
scars, and the Black MeJo needs a paint job. I used a soldier
ape body for Black Mejo, because I figured Mego would have done
so. The flocked Black Mejo is made from a cast of a S.W.A.T.
head with a beard sculpt lovely added by Phil Nobile in his extended
efforts to produce the perfect POTA Hodge custom. Black MeJo's
tan suit was as close as I could come... kind of Hidden Treasure,
kind of Desert Survival... man, what I wouldn't do for
the right sized pith helmet right about now.

So look at that flocked Shazam head - if
that isn't a "little joe" I don't know what is. And
maybe I don't. I found a small version of the standard joe carbine
in my bins and rigged him in some AJ jungle gear (big thanks
to Ken "Igor" Morse!). Land Adventurer Mejo has AJ
dog tags, but I think I'm going to have to get the Sculpy out
and make them both some silver medallion-type tags with the Mego
Corp. symbol on them. On ball-chains, of course.

I don't know if I'm compelled to make any
more of them, but it would be fun to do a red Shazam Sea Adventurer
in a Spy Island set made from AJ Secret Agent duds, or a blond
Shazam in AJ's Air Force for an Air Adventurer...
